Shameless Brag.......

[Meeko]

My daughter will be singing tomorrow night in this concert in the LDS Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. She wants to sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as soon as she is old enough. She's so excited to have their director be their director for this event. She's been travelling up to Salt Lake for three days now from 6AM to 10PM to practice. The concert is sold out...should be good! Her dad and I will be there cheering her on!

Not proud or anything......::::::

That's awesome! You must be so proud that she's following her dream .

That's incredible!

I'm LDS (inactive) and know what an honour it is to sing with the choir, and how good you have to be! How old is she?

Congratulations! I love listening to the Tabernacle Choir.

She's nearly 17 and a junior in high school. When she was in 4th grade, her school choir teacher told us she had a beautiful voice and it has only got better. She has been passionate about singing since she was tiny. When she was 12 she was selected to represent Utah (out of over 300 kids) to sing in the International Childrens Choir the year the USA hosted. One child from each state and then kids from all nations. We got to travel that summer! Since then she has continued her studies with both school and private study.

Tomorrow's concert is the best high school students from all over the state. Mack Wilberg, director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, will be their conductor. He's working them hard, but he's the best! She's exhausted, but having a great time!

You have to be 25 to join the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Her school choir teacher is a member of the choir and so is her private voice coach. She will join the Tabernacle Chorus first and hopefully the Tabernacle Choir after that. She wants to be a music teacher (surprise!) for her profession.

As I can't hold a note to save my life....I am very proud of her! She sings solo's without so much as a care. No stage fright at all. I'm very jealous!
